Paul needs 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar for his recipe. Which statement best describes how much of each ingredient Paul needs to measure? A. Paul should measure exactly 4 cups of flour and 1 cup of brown sugar since that makes a total of 5 cups of ingredients. B. Paul should measure exactly 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar so that he has enough flour and not too much brown sugar for the recipe. C. Paul should make it easy and just measure a total of 5 cups of flour and brown sugar since it all gets mixed up in the recipe anyway.

Well, this is pretty much common sense. A recipe has to be exact, so what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I pick A

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Incorrect. The recipe calls for 4.5 cups of flour and .5 cups of brown sugar,and you need the exact measurements.

What is the answer

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I'm not going to give the direct answer. Read OpenStudy's CoC and TaC. We help the user find the answer by themselves. We don't give answers, instead we guide the user to the answer. So if the recipe needs 4.5 cups of flour and .5 cups of brown sugar and a recipe needs to be exact, what should Paul measure out?
